It's undeniable that books are usually better than their film adaptations. Whether it's because the story is more fleshed out, the characters are more relatable, or the ending is more satisfying, there are plenty of reasons why books usually come out on top.

One of the biggest reasons why books tend to be better than movies is because they offer more depth and background information. In a book, authors are able to take their time developing the story and the characters, whereas in a movie everything is condensed into a two-hour timeframe.

This means that readers are typically able to connect with the characters on a deeper level and feel invested in their stories. As far as descriptions go, books can be super detailed when it comes to their characters and settings.

Meanwhile, movies often have to rely on visuals to tell the story, which can sometimes result in flat or one-dimensional characters. Another big factor is the ending.

In a lot of cases, book endings are much more satisfying than their movie counterparts. This is because there is usually more time to wrap things up and tie up all the loose ends.

Today, we're going to look at the result of a book series' detailed descriptions. One woman had a brilliant idea of combining the descriptions of Harry Potter books and the power of artificial intelligence.

She shared the result online for us to enjoy. Let's take a look.

This is what compelled a Vietnamese woman, who uses the online handle MsBananaAnna, to use AI to see the authentic looks of the characters. As you can see from some of the results, the casting did a wonderful job with some actors.

They are close to the looks of what the AI produced.
